C2E2 IS AUGUST 5-7!

Enjoy a weekend that is all about you! You're invited to the only comic, cosplay, and pop culture convention in the heart of downtown Chicago! We've gathered your favorite celebrities, unique exhibitors, incredible comic artists, and larger-than-life literary authors, along with you of course, into one place to celebrate the fandoms you love. We have something for everyone, from a Show Floor packed with top exhibitors, autograph sessions, panels, screening rooms, exclusives, After Dark events and a massive Artist Alley. If you've always dreamed of attending the biggest geek party in the Midwest, then look no further. This is your weekend to get wild and be free with other nerdy Chicagoans. Epic memories and awesome friendships await you at C2E2, the show created for you.

Coming to McCormick Place from out of town or just want to be in the middle of the action with an affordable place to stay? Our special C2E2 hotel block is live now! Book early to secure a competitive rate with our housing partner Connections Housing. Rooms are limited and the deadline to reserve is July 11, so book today!

We work hard to curate the C2E2 newsletter to be chocked full of deets about Chicago’s geekiest weekend. Give us your email, and we promise we’ll lovingly stuff your inbox with the newest updates about C2E2 – from when tickets go on sale, to guest announcements, to which comic book creators will be at the show, and of course, how you can ultimately plan for your best C2E2 EVER!
